Which are better: Macs or PCs? In this article (and the video above) we try to put this issue to bed once and
for all.As you may have guessed, we're rather big fans of Apple computers here at Macworld. From the pristine
beautify of the new iMac with Retina display, to the svelte pleasures of the new 12in MacBook, we enjoy
them all. But why do these devices cause such loyalty and affections from users, when they could buy a
perfectly good PC for a lot less money? Here are 10 reasons why we think Macs are better than their Windows based
brethren. Watch our headed Mac vs PC debate above.Any comparison of Macs and

PCs needs to note that Macs are PC s. In fact, as Apple used to say in every boilerplate of every press release: A pple ignited the personal com puter revolut ion in the 1970s with the Apple II and reinvented the personal computer in the 1980s wit h the Macintosh.Nor is it , strict ly speaking, a com parison between the Mac operating system and

Windows, because a Mac can act ually run Windows.However, for the sake of argument, we'll group those various personal com puters manufactured by the various PC manufacturers on one side, and those built by Apple on the other, as we answer the question: Why are Macs better than PC s?A lso read: How to move from PC to MacA nd: The PC users' guide to using a Mac10 reasons why Macs are better than PC s: The experienceThe operat ing system on a PC or Mac is a fundament al part of the user ex perience. How we interact wit h our computers can result in harmonious atmospheres around our households and workplaces, or the anguished cries of souls that have seen too much suffering to believe there is any good left in the world. Windows 8 was something of a car-crash in terms of design and customer satisfaction, with Microsoft trying too hard to push touch- based comput ing on a desktop using populace that didn't
want it. Updates have cleared up some of the mess, and Windows 10 is shaping up to be a very good OS, but there's st ill a long way to go. In contrast, OS X El Capit an is clean, refined, stable, easy to use interface, that to our tastes is a far, far nicer place to spend your time. Touch has been ignored, wit h trackpad and mouse gestures proving an excellent (and we think superior) alternat ive, and the whole OS feels like a polished evolut ion of an already thoroughbred system.You'll also like: 20 things you can easily do on a Mac but are tricky on a PC .10 reasons why Macs are better than PCs: Seamless integration with iOS through Hand- Off With the int roduct ion of Continuity in OS X Yosemite, Apple has further st rengthened the ties between Macs and iOS devices, something that has carried through to OS X El Capitan. Thanks to the Hand- off feature, you can start an email, note or document on your iPhone or iPad and
continue on your Mac without syncing or sav ing anything to a cloud drive like OneDrive or Google Drive. This also applies for web searches, rem inders, maps searches, and calendar adjustments. This close integrat ion is a powerful selling point, as it means your dev ices all work together to help you com plet e your tasks without fuss or frustration.10 reasons why Macs are better than PCs: There are too many PC s to choose from This might sound like a bad thing, but it's true that somet imes less is more. Apple offers six different computers that come in various specs and with various build- to-order opt ions. Apple's Macs include the MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, MacBook, Mac mini, iMac and Mac Pro, and from those you' ll find a Mac that suits your budget, lifesty le and power requirements. See: C omplete Mac buy ing guide 2015Because PC s don't come from a single manufact urer there are hundreds of PC s on the market. But

none of these have the single vision guiding them that Macs offer.It's interesting at this point to note that, while the Mac market share is smaller than the PC market share, this is based on all the PC manufact urers combined. Apple is in fourth place when it comes to market share when compared wit h other PC makers. In first place is Lenovo, followed by HP, then Dell, then Apple according to Gartner.10 reasons why Macs are better than PCs: SecurityYes, that old chest nut. For years now, Mac users have flaunted the apparent invulnerability of their systems in the faces of PC using friends. While we don't necessarily condone such behaviour, there is indeed a good deal of truth involved.

Macs are continually shown

to suffer less attacks than Windows-based PCs, and by quite a margin. Things are admittedly changing though, with
internet-based attacks on the rise, and hackers are becoming increasingly sophisticated in their approaches. For the time being the

Mac is still the safest

platform, but users would be well adv ised to add a dash of caution to their surfing and clicking behav iours, lest complacency usher in the neredowells.10 reasons why Macs are better than PC s: They come with excellent software includedPC s have a myriad of excellent software packages available for pretty much any computer-based task. Some can be downloaded for free, while others are available for purchase, but one thing that is most often the case is that they don't come with the machine. When you take a Mac out of it s box you'll find an impressive collection of very useful apps including Photos, iMovie, Garageband, Pages, Numbers, Keynote,

FaceTime, iTunes, Maps and more already installed, so you'll be able to edit photos, make movies, create music and get your work done right off the bat, which for most people will be all they need.There's also the Mac App Store, which grants you access to a world of addit ional apps that you can install on your Mac. Plus, any fear that Macs aren't compat ible wit h your favourite Microsoft apps are unfounded; you can run mainstays like Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Out look on a Mac.And if you really must use Windows you can. It is possible to install Windows on a Mac alongside OS X. You really can have your cake and eat it.10 reasons why Macs are better than PC s: Build qualityThere's no denying that Macs are expensive. If all you want is a simple machine for Facebook, shopping and a litt le work then a Mac isn't really the best opt ion. Buy a Chromebook instead, as they' re excellent devices that only cost around 200 and

can do all those things very happily. Conversely, if you think that for the cost of a Mac you could buy all the components yourself and build a more powerful machine, then do exactly that and revel in your technical prowess. More power to you. But if you want a dev ice that is built to the highest standards, wit h top-grade components, elegant styling and almost fanatical attention to det ail, then Macs are some of the most beaut iful consumer electronic products on the market right now.See also: Should I buy a refurbished Mac?10 reasons why

the

components

Macs are better than PCs: Apple optimises

Every component in every Mac is optimised for performance and to ensure that it requires less power.

Where the argument that Macs feature better-quality components has been moot since the switch to Intel processors
in 2006, with Apple using many of the same components in Macs as their PC counterparts, the fact that the company can design its
operating system to use these components better is significant. It's why Apple can issue firmware updates that improve the way
certain components work in Macs, and why a new operating system update can actually result in an old Mac achieving better
battery life.The bad news is that because of the way these components are built into Macs, they are not easy or, in many cases,
possible to upgrade at a later date. In order to slim down the case and optimise the way the system works, Apple has compromised
the ability to upgrade a Mac at a later date.PC fans often note the fact that Macs aren't user-upgradable. These days the only way to
add more RAM or a bigger hard drive to your Mac is if you purchase it as a build-to-order option when you first buy the Mac from
Apple. For some this will be a negative, but for many the idea of upgrading their Mac a few years down the line isn't something
they'd even consider doing.If you want to be able to customise your machine then a PC might be a better option, but many people
just want a machine that works. Unfortunately, one of the negatives of upgrading a PC is the conflicts that arise and the issues faced
when the required drivers are missing.Speaking of drivers: on a Mac you can plug in a camera, printer or install software and it just
works.10 reasons why Macs are better than PCs: Macs have the best screensMany might scoff at the idea of a Retina screen (after
all isn't it just a HD display?), but the current range of Retina MacBooks and iMacs boast screens that feature anti-reflective coatings
and no air gap, which makes them the best on the market right now. Pair that with the consistent performance in terms of high DPI
display, as opposed to the various scaling issues we've experienced on high-end Windows laptop,s and Retina Macs are crystal clear
winners.10 reasons why Macs are better than PCs: Customer supportIf things go wrong then it's reassuring to know that Apple
offers various good support and service options. Apple consistently ranks as one of the best for customer support. Most Apple
products come with 90 days of complimentary phone support and a one-year limited warranty.The support services offered by Apple
include telephone support, support using online tools, and support at Apple Retain Stores where you can book an appointment with
a Genius. There are also a number of Apple Authorised Service Providers who can help you with any issues you face.10 reasons why

satisfactionIn the end, a Mac is an electronic product, and it needs to justify its princely
sum to the paying customer. This is, as they say, the bottom line. Thankfully the Mac has spent more than a decade at the top of
Macs are better than PCs: User

customer satisfaction surveys, which is no mean feat when you consider that they are expensive items that promise much to the
prospective buyer. The fact that Apple delivers the good, literally in many cases, is probably the most compelling argument of
all, and shows that most people who purchase Macs have few, if any, regrets.So that's it, our top ten reasons why we think Macs are
better than PCs. Obviously many of you will have different opinions, which no doubt will be voiced in the comments below. Before we
don the obligatory fire-retardant underwear, take a look at this list on our sister site PC Advisor which argues the case for the other
side. In the end great computers are just great computers, no matter what the brand. So if you find one that suits you then keep
hold of it. Read PC Advisor's attempt to prove that PCs are better than Macs here.

PC stands for personal computer, not political capital

TechTerms 7, (PC, Techterms, http://techterms.com/definition/pc)
Stands for "Personal computer." PCs are are what most of us use on a daily basis for work or
personal use. A typical PC includes a system unit, monitor, keyboard, and

mouse. Most PCs today also have a network or Internet connection, as well as ports for connecting peripheral
devices, such as digital cameras, printers, scanners, speakers, external hard drives, and other components.
Personal computers allow us to write papers, create spreadsheets, track our finances, play games, and do many
other things. If a PC is connected to the Internet, it can be used to browse the Web, check e-mail, communicate with
friends via instant messaging programs, and download files. PCs have become such an integral part of our lives that
it can be difficult to imagine life without them! While PC stands for "personal computer," the term can be a bit
ambiguous. This is because Macintosh computers are often contrasted with PCs, even though Macs are also
technically PCs. However, Apple itself has used the term "PC" to refer to Windows-based machines, as opposed to
its own computers, which are called "Macs." While the Mac/PC dilemma remains, PCs can always contrasted with
other types of computers, such as mainframes and server computers, such as Web servers and network file servers.
In other words, if you use a computer at home or at work, you can safely call it a PC.

President Obama uses a MacBook Pro 15 with antiglare screen, and it looks like the entire
White House uses Macs too. mac white house The top picture is from a White House video and the
staff

other of White House staff is from Fortune. Its not just Macs that the White House is crazy over, the iPad has also
become very popular in the current administration, according to CBS News: Practically everyone has an iPad or
will have one very soon. Emanuel just got his, as did senior adviser David Axelrod and deputy press secretary Bill
Burton. Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer and press wrangler Ben Finkenbinder each have one on order.
Economic adviser Larry Summers takes his to staff meetings. The device is the hot, new White House toy, a gizmo
that is popping up around Washington but seems to be particularly in vogue at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The
irony in all of this of course is that President Obama recently made the following comment about iPods and iPads
being distracting: With iPods and iPads, and Xboxes and PlayStations none of which I know how to work
information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment, rather than a tool of empowerment, rather
than the means of emancipation. Im sure members of the White House just uses their Macs and iPads for work
though no Facebook, Angry Birds, or StarCraft 2 in those long West Wing meetings suuuuuuuure.

The neg is kicking out of previous implied definitions. This
destroys aff ground because
Excessive neg positions: They can just say one thing and then
say the opposite and claim they won on it. All our opponents
need to do is find a word with multiple ambiguous defintions
so they can kick out of a definition in case they are losing on it.
